How to Customize Suzuki Bikes

Suzuki motorcycles are not uncommon, and if you are a "crotch rocket" speed performance junkie, you likely have friends that share your passion for riding super-fast bikes. Some of those friends likely drive their own Suzuki motorcycles. Finding great ways to make your bike stand out among the waves of mass-produced import bikes is not always easy, but with a few specialized touches, you'll be able to enhance your bike's looks and performance.

Things You'll Need

  • Colored motorcycle tires
  • High flow headers
  • High flow exhaust
  • Vinyl graphics kit
  • Supercharger
  • Install colored tires on your Suzuki. According to Motorbiker.org, colored tires are relatively new to the market with very few manufacturers specializing in the process of adding color to rubber tires. Colored tires can match the color scheme of your bike, or they can contrast to give a unique look. Since these tires are not as common, your bike will be set apart from the rest of the bikes on the street.

  • Install a high flow header, exhaust pipe and muffler. Many people install a high flow muffler to enhance the exhaust note of the motorcycle, but the muffler alone will not create horsepower. Installing an exhaust header and a mandrel bent exhaust pipe will prevent any "bottle-neck" or restriction in airflow as exhaust gas tries to escape the engine. According to StarCycle-USA.com, adding these three components will increase horsepower and performance across the complete power range of your Suzuki.

  • Add a new vinyl graphics kit to the fenders and gas tank of your Suzuki. There are countless vinyl graphics kit designs and color schemes to personalize the paint scheme of your bike. Vinyl kits are far less money than a custom paint job that can run into thousands of dollars, and a vinyl kit can be removed and replaced if you decide to change up the look of your motorcycle.

  • Install a supercharger on you Suzuki. According to TTS-Performance.com, a supercharger can add at least 35 horsepower to a Suzuki Hayabusa engine. This can more than double the horsepower output of a stock Suzuki. If you're interested in turning heads with pure speed, this is the method to choose. Adding a supercharger will require a substantial cash investment and is considered a major engine modification, but it is possible to complete the job in your garage. You could also seek professional installation from a qualified motorcycle specialist.
